....or down to.  His 3rd Q filing for Appoloosa report a 35% decline in value!!!! and this before the last 3months which were among the worst on record:

He apparently has liquidated many positions and has to be worried about redemptions as much as the volatility of the market.  So following Rivera and Hurney are WAY behind following the tweets from DC.  If he wants to replace anyone, it’s the bipolar guy sitting behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office.

I kinda pointed this out back when folks were screaming that Tepper needed to come out and address them right now about RR and MH.

He has been saying he just hoarding cash for the past 3 months. He has some positions but he been waiting to go lower.

I think you might misunderstand what's going on here.

The value of the investments held by Appaloosa is 35% less than the last time they filed the same report.  This is driven by him selling off a lot of positions and going to cash.

Example: 

Filing 1:  Investor has 10 different positions worth $10 each..."portfolio value" = $100. 

Filing 2:  Investor has 6 positions worth $10 each..."portfolio value" = $60.  Cash = $40.  

In both cases total value = $100.  The "portfolio value" is down 40% but no money has been lost.

No idea if he has made or lost money on an absolute basis but he's not down 35%.

Thanks for putting that in a way that's understandable.

Excellent explanation, thanks

Sure thing.

One other thing to keep in mind as it goes to Appaloosa (and other hedge funds), they don't have to report the cash position, nor do they have to report their short positions. 

Clearly Tepper has been taking money off the table on the long side (makes money if stock price goes up), and I'm highly confident he's got his foot on the gas and is simultaneously adding to his book of short positions (makes money if the stock price goes down).

For those who might own a stock or two and want to see if Tepper owns any of the same names, all his long positions can be viewed here:

Market volatility is something guys like Tepper thrive on....I suspect he's having a good year (but that's just a guess).

      Yes we are weak at 2C,  I wouldnt say C overall just we have Aho and then 3 guys who should be third Cs.....   If we dont aquire someone I suspect we will finally see Jarvis at center this year.   I see what you mean with Freddie, and I agree to an extent I think we should limit his regular season starts and focus on keeping him healthy for the playoffs.    He has been very good in the post season contrary to what some casuals think we DID not lose because of Freddie....  2.02 GAA and a .907 %  We lost to florida because our small offensive D men couldn't keep the Panthers from parking right in front of him.

      In theory that would be nice, but i can almost guarantee you no one who will be an upgrade will be available.... much less a "stud"  This is a list of goalies who are free agents in 2026 aka possibly be sold at the deadline..... the only one I see that might help us is a retread in Ned.... (honestly should have never gotten rid of him hes performed admirably in much worse situations since leaving).
